Standardisation Sheet X No. 4124.
return herewith

I have passed the Standardisation Sheet for the new jack for road Wheels for the Phantom and note that new Dunlop is 19/8d. against the old Michelin 13/10d, - 5/8d. increase.

I think we still should search round for a jack suitable for this car, which will not necessitate an increase in price. In the meantime, I have initialled the Standardisation Sheet with a view to using the Dunlop jack for the present.
